Introduction

Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power adapter and cord are suitable for outdoor use and are protected from water and moisture. Do not operate with damaged cords or plugs. Always unplug the unit when not in use or during severe weather conditions.
- Placement: Position the inflatable on a flat, stable surface, away from heat sources, sharp objects, and areas with high winds. Ensure adequate clearance from walls, fences, and other obstructions to allow for full inflation.
- Securing: Always use the provided stakes and tethers to secure the inflatable firmly to the ground. This prevents it from being blown away or damaged by wind.
- Supervision: Keep children and pets away from the inflatable during operation to prevent entanglement or damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure the air intake on the motor is clear of debris to prevent overheating.
